Mr. Al-Burhan thanked Egypt for supporting the safety and stability of Sudan at the "historical juncture it is experiencing." During the meeting, the two leaders also reviewed developments in Sudan and discussed ways to ensure humanitarian aid to the Sudanese people and efforts to settle the Sudanese crisis.
Mr. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said the Sudanese army is committed to starting a genuine transitional period, after which the Sudanese people can establish their state through free and fair elections in which they choose who rules them.
